Tailgating And Entertaining Made Simple #TD4Rubbermaid

We'd love it if you shared it!

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Rubbermaid. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Have you ever gone to a get-together such as a tailgating party and needed to bring a dish with you? It can be quite a dilemma. Noone really wants to bring their expensive dishes with them. Disposable plastic is an option but they can be too small to hold the food you’re bringing. And if you find one that is the right size, it might be too thin to safely hold the food. Noone wants to bring a container of chili or other foods that have sauce and are messy if they aren’t sure that it will remain safely in its container instead of all over the floor of the car.

Take my Chicken Bacon Meatballs, for example. They are served in a very thick and creamy sauce. But, I don’t keep the meatballs swimming in the sauce, I keep the sauce separate. Not everyone likes to drown their meatballs in sauce like me. And, some people like extra sauce, for dunking bread or maybe for a side like fries or mashed potatoes. Previously, this dish was not something I could easily bring to a get-together such as a tailgating party. Now, with the Rubbermaid Party Platter I can take them almost anywhere.

The Rubbermaid Party Platter is actually designed for entertaining. It’s great that a reputable company recognized a need for a simple food storage container that would make entertaining less complicated. The round platter has a large base divided into four sections. In the middle of the platter there is a space for a smaller round food storage container with dip, or in my case meatball sauce.

The 100% BPA free Party Platter microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe. The inner Twist & Seal container has a tight, twist-on, leak-proof lid, and sits inside of a groove in the platter, keeping all of the food securely in its place. Hubby got nervous when I filled the round food storage container with sauce and told him that I wanted to test it. He needn’t have worried as not one drop leaked out when I held the  container upside down and shook it.

Another reason Rubbermaid can help make entertaining and tailgating easier is because now they have food storage containers that come with Easy Find Lids. If you’re like me I’m sure you’ve gone looking for a lid and wasted a chunk of time, and possibly didn’t even find it. The square containers in this line come in graduated sizes that nest together, which means they take up less room no matter whether they’re being stored or in use. The lids in this food storage system snap together and snap to the bottom of matching containers, ensuring the right lid is always at your fingertips. Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids are 100% BPA free, as well as microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe.
